Artist Comments
Artist Karen Hansen paints an atmospheric abstract exploring autumn's vibrant and joyful colors. Part of her Forest Bathing Series. "Forest bathing is a practice that encourages people to simply spend time in nature to promote physical and mental well-being," says Karen. At the season's peak, trees glow with dazzling flashes of color. She depicts the final performance before the leaves fall and the season moves on.

About the Artist
Karen’s abstract paintings are best described as an exploration in color. Often monochromatic, her work is a meditative and serene improvisation in the movement and depth of paint. Whether executed in earthy shades or vibrant tones, each painting evokes a different mood for the viewer’s contemplation. Karen’s body of work gives a gentle nod to the Color Field movement of the 20th Century, grounding her portfolio solidly within the evolving story of contemporary art.
